I agree that you won't see direct pay cuts for all the reasons you mention...but "they" can be very cunning and I've never ever seen the company reduce the downward pressure on T&Cs, even on the occasions when we were profitable in the distant past. So I'd expect more of the same from BA Head Office and BALPA ( and by that I mean the union members, not just the reps) can't take a breather or assume the pressure is off just because we're well in the black for once.
Anyway, back to the thread.......
